Additional Sponsorship Opportunities
Ask AI is constantly testing new programs and initiatives which sponsors can start supporting from the ground-floor.
Guest Videos
Ask AI is open to working with organizations to distribute self-produced short videos (in alignment with pre-agreed content guidelines) which we amplify through our blog, YouTube, newsletter, and social media pages.
Cost: $100 CAD per episode (distribution only). Production costs depend on the resources available to the sponsor e.g. in-house video editor. Ask AI can also do the editing for $100 per video.
Guest Podcast Series
Ask AI is open to working with organizations to distribute their self-produced series within our podcast umbrella (in alignment with pre-agreed content guidelines).
Cost: $200 CAD per episode (Ask AI provides consultation and distribution only). Production costs depend on the resources available to the sponsor e.g. internal content / marketing team.
LinkedIn Live Events
Ask AI is open to working with organizations to host / co-produce LinkedIn Live events with sponsors that spotlight an AI technology, issue, or specific sector. Our team provides guidance on agenda, topics, and guests.
Cost: $500 CAD per event (hosting only). Additional costs (e.g. pre-event promotion) are minimal and depend on the resources available to the sponsor e.g. internal event / marketing / PR team.
Global Chatbot Initiative
Ask AI is currently working with one of the top prompt engineers / AI product developers in Canada to scope a relaunch of the Ask AI Chatbot.
Our goal is to transform this free resource from proof of concept to global resource for AI-related information e.g. influencers, news, tech, events, orgs, vendors, regulations.
Our chatbot landing page currently generates 8,000+ visits per month with potential to exceed 50,000+ visits per month.
This sponsorship opportunity will align perfectly with lead-gen strategies and international awareness campaigns.
Cost: Estimate $3,000 CAD year for research, development, hosting, and SaaS fees for 12 months.
